Likely to be slashdotted -

Likely to be slashdotted - Salon has an article entitled "Embrace file-sharing, or die". It's a message for the entertainment industry from a record executive and his son. Here are some interesting points: Movie sharing is at an all-time high, and the MPAA lament this fact, but filmmaker's revenues are also at an all-time high. Ticket sales are higher than they have ever been. Why? There's a lot of consumer choice out there in film today. Contrast that with the music industry. It's a long article, but a good read.
